Republicans, Alex Pretti should be your breaking point | Opinion

There comes a point when lying feels like swallowing a sharp-edged rock. If you lack a conscience, your ability to choke the lie down, to not gag, to endure the pain as that deceit descends your gullet, improves. Republican lawmakers and conservative voters across the country find themselves, in the wake of a second U.S. citizen’s senseless death at the hands of U.S. Border Patrol agents in Minnesota, with a jagged rock in their mouths and a decision: Do you swallow this lie or spit it out? Do you still have a conscience, or not? There are early signs that

The Trump administration released updated U.S. dietary guidelines Wednesday, encouraging Americans to eat more protein and full-fat dairy while cutting back on ultra-processed foods and added sugars.

Updated Jan. 23, 2026, 5:12 p.m. ET The Super Bowl is fast approaching, and with it, increased scrutiny over the choice of halftime performer. This year, Latin superstar Bad Bunny will take the stage, treating attendees and the millions of viewers watching couch-side to a medley of his Spanish-language hits.

Updated Jan. 23, 2026, 10:11 p.m. ET Immigration and Customs Enforcement is facing scrutiny over its assertion that federal officers can forcibly enter a home without a judicial warrant – a move constitutional scholars, immigration experts and a federal judge say is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment.
